Dave Control system Simulation Ryan Software Horizon sensor electrical Mark Flight Computer Electrical hardware Ben Actuations system Mechanical assembly Joe Horizon sensor radiometry Camera Lens Assembly Actuator testing systems Project management People
Control System • Utilize sensor inputs • Determine response • Generate commands for actuators
Sensors • Inertial Measurements Unit • Off the shelf IMU • 3 axis acceleration • 3 axis rotation rate • Digital output 150 Hz • Horizon Sensor • Custom made • CMOS imaging sensor • Wide angle lens • Band Pass filtered
IMU • Internal ADC with temperature compensation • RS-422 Digital Output • 5G Accelerometers on all three axis • 300 Deg/s Rate Gyros on all three axis • 35G Accelerometers on two axis • Non Idealities -Acceleration dependant Gyro bias
Image processing • Equidistant point algorithm • -Removes curvature of earth • Simple orientation extraction • Pixel luminosity thresholding • -Easy to implement • -Uses constant threshold value • -Can use a variable threshold lookup table vs altitude
Flight Computer • Custom design • TI 2808 DSP • 4 layer PCB • SMT construction
Actuators • 4 Vernier jets • Powered by pressurized NOX • Gas generated from boiling liquid • Jets rotate on BB Rotary unions • Controlled by PWM servo actuators and push-pull linkages
Nozzles • Converging-diverging design • Throat area matched for flow rate • Area ratio optimized for thrust • Custom tooling for fabrication • Thrust & flow tested
Motion control • NOX feed line with rotary union • PWM controlled digital servo • Response measured experimentally
Simulation • 2D simulations • Spec thruster output • Spec mass and burn time to other groups • Determine worst case trajectory • 3D simulations • Test control system • Test actuator response • Spec thrust axis tolerances
Conclusions • Micron CMOS sensors not performing as indicated in spec sheet • Horizon sensors n
